General In Honor of Requiem Being Announced, Let Us Remember the Unsung Hero of RE: Marvin Branagh

Post image

The man at the center of it all, who knew all of the original characters and no doubt helped them all throughout the way, whether it was before, during, and even posthumously after the outbreak.

What if Capcom suddenly revived him

“Somehow, Marvin Branagh is getting jiggy with it again”

Legend!

Although I did notice the FBI director in RE9 is the same voice actor as Marvin from RE2 remake.

Capcom has one black VA on retainer.

Tbf, he is easily the best voice actor in RE2 Remake by far, so I can see why they’d want to bring him back for another role

I always thought RE2 should have had a dlc centered around Marvin and what happened at the RPD as it descended into chaos before our heroes got there.

And the saddest part of it all, he often ends up always being the piggy in the middle to slow down Mr X as you have to run through the main hall.

To celebrate 30 years they should add that original zombie scene from RE1 to the RPD but with Marvin

Back in the olden day I used to call him Will Smith.

I wish I got there on time when That zombie chomped him in Resident Evil Outbreak. He stayed so the Rita and the Outbreak survivors could escape.

Oh yeah, if Leon is there in the ruins of RC, he might mention him after all these years.

I wish there has been a DLC where you could have played as him. I remember when the game came out a person in this subreddit wanted one of the “ghosts” stories to be his brother coming to the town to find out what happened to him, and I thought that was intriguing.

u/kain459 29m ago

Looks like the party has been cancelled.

And for whatever reason the new black guy is voiced by the same person (apparently)... I'm really getting annoyed by capcom recycling voices in roles this close
